Bad, i know hundred of word but struggle to form paragraphs orally

That sounds like exactly what Language Transfer does exceptionally well!

Bad, I've missed my Anki for 4 days now and I'm not very motivated. I keep doing Duolingo but that feels more like a game than actual learning.

Doing pretty well. I minored in French in college but haven't used it in years and I've gotten rusty, so I'm trying to fix that. I've recently discovered a library near me that has a French language section (my previous library was too small for that), plus a French club that meets once a month. I'm working my way through Le Voleur des Ombres by Marc Levy, and it's going well, but a little slowly because I've forgotten a bunch of vocabulary since college.

Ha I mostly lurk, reticent to inflict my rusty French on native speakers ;) but reading threads in those comms helps! Also rance, which is so full of internet slang, I actually learn a lot there
